Like you said, the key is to making sure that all licensing is contained within the PCD database file so it can be packaged up as part of a base deployment.<div>Using this method, you could then create multiple deployment packages. One could be the base install, everything but the applications. Then just add/remove application folders as needed to get the combination of deployed apps you want.</div><div>Has a bit more overhead keeping things up to date, but should work.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>
